RE: A EUPHORIA Database

OK, I've unbroken the designer program for designing cards.  As I mentioned,
it uses EuSQL (you'll need to d/l separately), which uses EDS databases.  It
also uses a modified version of eu.ex (euscript.e) to run a scripting
language.  Actually, it doesn't do much in this app, other than help you
debug code in the cards.  One thing I didn't mention is that you'll have to
make global convPctToPixel() in win32lib.  There's no real help, but most of
the buttons have tooltips, and it should be fairly obvious what they do.  If
I ever work on this again, I'll probably use Don's new editor control rather
than a richedit for the code editing.

There's also a playable version of the game up on my site, although it uses
a stupid file format (print/get), and you don't get any source--it's a bound
exe, but the newest versions (when they work) look pretty much the same to
the player.
